“Dogma” – The New Trainers Mantra
* Dogs were bred to work with man
* Dogs communicate with man – Partnerships are built on trust
* Dogs can solve simple problems
* Dogs can be taught to remember – Commands are given only once
* Dogs remember best when they discover
* Dogs learn by trial and error – Allow dogs the right to be wrong. No corrections if they don’t understand what they’re being taught
* Dogs have excellent hearing – Commands are given in a normal voice
* Dogs can learn to pay attention
* Learning is stressful
* Fear of failure hinders learning
* Behavior can precede learning – Don’t assume understanding. Proofing defines. Understanding takes time
* When learning, dogs often slow down – Confidence builds speed
* Training should make sense – Have a reason. Be fair and consistent
* Not all dogs are equal – Believe in yourself
